HB1306

This bill creates a new scholarship program that allows South Dakota residents to make charitable contributions to scholarship granting organizations, which would then provide grants to eligible students in grades K-12 who don't attend public school districts and whose household income doesn't exceed 300% of the area median income. The bill defines key terms like "eligible student," "microschool," and "scholarship granting organization" to establish the framework for how these scholarships would work. This is new law that establishes a charitable giving mechanism to support alternative education options for lower and middle-income families in the state.
